Administration:
If you're cooped up and complaining about having no where to go or no one to go with, just get out there, because it sounds like you need to. Why wait? It'll look just as beautiful. Get out, do something, meet people. Have fun (:

Campus Housing:
Aside, from the size of the two person rooms, the living space is a great up starter for freshman! The campus diners are not amazing, but won't leave you starving. Lots of cool sights and good restaurants around campus. The trails of San Marcos are beautiful and should be seen often.

Off-Campus Housing:
Off-campus housing is very expensive in San Marcos and many of the apartments are inconveniently far away from the university. However, I know that closer ones are being built currently.

Scholarships:
The Fasfa did all the work for me! It is kind of difficult to find scholarships I wish our Financial aid office had advisors that would help you find and apply for them. But they try to be as helpful on the phone when you have a question as possible!

Students Often Come From

Overall ExperienceWhat's this?

Texas State is such a friendly, open, accepting university. It's not a super huge college, so the people aren't stuck-up or cocky like you might find at bigger universities. It's very relaxed on campus, and there's a very chill atmosphere surrounding the city of San Marcos, as well. You can feel at home at Texas State, and you'll be surprised to find how easy it is to make friends.

Texas State is superb in making sure its students are offered the opportunities they need to gain skills that will make them the most competitive in their field. Being a smaller university makes it even easier for academic advisers and professors to take the extra time to talk to students one-on-one about their future career paths. The professors and advisers are always eager to help.
